COVID-19 UPDATE: The Kamloops Food Bank remains open

With the growing number of Coronavirus cases and BC declaring a Public Health Emergency the focus on the health and safety of our staff, volunteers, and clients remains paramount.

Our desire to create a safe environment while continuing to provide food to those in need prompted the following procedural changes:

Clients:

• Stand 2 metres apart at all times
• We are serving 1 client at time in the building
• Sanitize hands upon entering
• Have your ID ready to display
• Please follow staff & volunteer direction
• Clients are able to access Perishable hampers once per week and Non-Perishable hampers once per month
• All Hampers are now pre-packed to
  • • expedite the intake process
    • serve the largest number of clients
    • limit social contact
    • ensure food is shared equally

Our administrative staff is currently working from home and we are unable to answer any calls. Please email info@kamloopsfoodbank.org and your inquiry will be directed to the appropriate department.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during the COVID-19 crisis.

We are in this together.

Regarding Donations:

At this time both monetary and shelf stable food donations are needed.

We are gratefully receiving food donations at 171 Wilson Street. Please come to the red receiving bay door Monday-Friday, 8am – 2pm

If you are unable to drop off during those times, donation bins are located at the front of grocery stores for non-perishable items and are picked-up daily by our foodSHARE drivers.
